I remember having heavy quilts on my bed when I was very little and am sorry to say that I have no idea where they have gone, but I do still have a quilt made from cotton squares on the top and flannel backing (no batting) that is used quite a bit yet today. I love the feel of a heavy quilt on me when I am cold and tired....better than a sleeping pill! I don't know who made the quilts, as my mother never quilted and I never had a very close relationship with my grandmothers to know or understand their history. I wish I had been not quite so rebellious when younger....there was so much I wish I had learned from them!
